we like it wild: it’s so hard to say goodbye

We got a little teary writing this post. Today we come to you with a farewell love letter and a big thank you. It has been a wild two years! We are honored and so appreciative to have had the opportunity to share our floral projects and inspirations with you. Writing the column gave us a much-needed escape from the day-to-day business of running our floral studio and pushed us to keep being creative. We’ve shared our favorite flowers, celebratedtheholidays and showed you some big milestones in our lives, like the making of our shop and Jill’s wedding.

We are grateful to have been connected with so many fantastic people through our little column and will always have a special place in our hearts for Grace, the Design*Sponge family and all of you readers who have supported us during our time here. We have lots of big upcoming plans, including the arrival of baby Choo in January! We are working on a book with our friends from Star Apple Edible and Fine Gardening, lots and lots of weddings and a full and fun holiday schedule. We hope to pop back in here now and again and share what we’re up to, and we’d love for you to stop by and see us online or in person at Prairie Collective. It has been a pleasure. Love, Studio Choo.

NOOOOOO! But… I love you! Please come back! Don’t go! We Like it Wild is my favorite! Especially now that I see you have a beautiful white chihuahua and other doggies. I’m going to go listen to “Don’t Speak” on a loop forever now. :(

This is truly a sad day to read that you are leaving D*S. As a designer on the East Coast I have admired your work from afar…Good luck and I am sure I will continue to check in with your online contributions. Thanks for the smiles you have allowed me…

Oh Katy you luck duck! You are going to love her so much! There are some great Youtube videos showing how to lube and oil, your Betty. All those little holes on top of the machine need a drop of oil and lube the gears. Woendrful find! And you have one cute puppy too.
